This is the only bill that has come from the House of Representatives for the protection of American laborers from the competition of alien labor on this continent on public buildings. It is equally important that they should be protected against alien labor on the other continent. If. on any principle. the bill as it came from the House can be defended. the amendment must be sustained. It has nothing to do with anything except public buildings and public works. That is all the bill deals with as it comes from the House. and it is all the amendment deals with. if the one presents a question of policy for the protection of American labor. so does the other.
